Cheadle based ACS Construction Group has been awarded the Investors in People (IIP) Gold award for the fourth consecutive time, retaining the standard for a decade.
The business was given an employee score ahead of both the IIP benchmark and the industry average, and rated highest in the core areas of culture, empowerment and collaborative working. Some of ACS’ highest scores included 100% of people saying they have the right level of responsibility to do their job effectively, they have all the information they need to do their job well and they are encouraged to use initiative in their role.
Danny Doohan, Operations Director, ACS Construction Group, commented:
“IIP Gold is a good tool for us to see a benchmark of how we’re doing with our people, culture, and processes. For us IIP isn’t a box-ticking exercise, a trophy on your shelf, or a logo on your letterhead that you forget about once you have it. It’s a never-ending process of investment and improvement, a constant quest to be better. It’s a commitment to building your people and your business to the same high standards as the projects you deliver to your clients.”
IIP accreditation assesses a business’ process and culture, via a surveys and interviews of a representative sample of a firm’s employees, with the prestigious Gold standard only awarded to a small percentage of companies assessed.
